Case Study: King Louie streamlines supplier collaboration and transparency with Retraced

King Louie automates certification tracking and reaches 100% supplier onboarding with Retraced

King Louie, a Dutch fashion brand, faced a challenge in managing its growing sustainability data across numerous suppliers. This data was stored in disparate folders and spreadsheets, leading to time-consuming manual follow-ups and coordination that hindered strategic improvements and slowed responses to compliance requests from buyers like Zalando. To gain a clear overview and streamline collaboration, they turned to the vendor Retraced for its supply chain transparency platform.

By implementing Retraced, King Louie established a single source of truth for its supply chain. The solution automated certification tracking, onboarded 100% of active suppliers, and provided Digital Product Passports for every item. The results included eliminating monthly follow-ups, providing audit information to partners in hours instead of days, and making sustainability data accessible across internal teams. Retraced enabled stronger supplier engagement and gave customers full visibility into the story behind their products.
